Lawrence Township Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony

The Lawrence Township Memorial Day Parade and Ceremony delivers a focused morning of remembrance just minutes from Trenton. Each May, you can join residents and visitors as the parade steps off from Lawrence High School and moves through town before gathering at Veterans Park for the formal tribute. If you are exploring Mercer County or the Delaware River Valley, this is an easy, meaningful stop that feels local and sincere.

You will see marching units, local fire and police departments, and the Marching Pride of Lawrence Township. The route typically follows Princeton Pike and Darrah Lane, concluding at the 100 Oaklyn Terrace entrance of Veterans Park. Once the last marchers arrive, the tone shifts to a quiet ceremony centered on gratitude for those who served.

Plan to arrive by 9:30 AM to claim a good viewing spot along the residential streets or near the park entrance. Bring a folding chair or a blanket for the grass during the ceremony, and expect parking at the high school to be available while nearby street spaces fill early. Check township updates for weather changes, since parts of the program may move indoors if rain arrives, and pack sunblock and water because shade is limited in the open park areas. If you bring a dog, make sure they can handle sirens, drums, and crowd noise.

If you are staying for the weekend, Princeton offers a strong range of hotels and boutique properties, and we also recommend looking at Lake.com for rentals near Mercer County waterways. Admission is free, with lineup at Lawrence High School, 2525 Princeton Pike. Food is not the focus on-site, but you can easily head to cafes in Lawrenceville or Princeton afterward for lunch.
